Yeah guys it is official the semester has began! Run, Hide and wish for the best!
It is that stressful time of the year when I have to study day and night to make sure that the prior three years of hard work won’t go down the drain.
This year I am a senior and by this time next year I am going to be a College Graduate..how time flies!
Nevertheless, with this semester it is time to say goodbye to my readings! I am positive that I won’t have any time to read because all my courses are really difficult and demanding aka NO LIFE ALERT!
However, I want to actually TRY to read some books like Stephen King’s “Under the Dome”, Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Oriental Express” and “Emma” by Jane Austen. So I decided to put it in writing so that you are going to be my judges in a way. My goal is to read these books, if not more during September, and let you know what I think about them.
I also received a book called “ZAROX” by a new upcoming author, so I am also excited to let you know about my thoughts and ultimately if it is worth your time!
I will try to maintain my philosophy about reading books on the train while I commute back and forth from the university but honestly, I don’t think I will have the energy this time!
Do you have time to read when your time is full either with work or classes? How do you make it work?!

I find time to read at night but sometimes I may not read at all for a few days. Good luck on your studies! By the way I’ve just started reading Emma but it’s too early to know if I like it. I haven’t read anything else from Jane Austen.

I try to study at night as well but if I am too tired, I fall asleep almost immediately. Jane Austen is light read…for me at least so I think you are gonna like her writing style.

Good luck on your studies! I also like to read while I’m busy studying. I have tried it. Sometimes I fail and sometimes I can handle it. The thing that works the best for me, is reading the books I like while I’m on a break in the middle of my studies. I’ve found it very refreshing. However, for me, the book I choose for that time must have special traits! It must be an enjoyable book, so that I feel uplifted, by reading a few paragraphs of it. But some books are so good and mind-nourishing, making it hard for me to put them away and go back to my studies! So it’s better to choose a moderate one. 🙂

I always went through phases of binge reading and then not reading, mostly I’d read at break and lunch in school, now though starting college I don’t know how I’m gonna fit it all in. Although I’ve already read 4 books this month so I’m good for the month haha. Good luck!

I had neither the time or the desire to read while I was in college. I should have, but I was always so burnt out.

I hope you can find a good balance! I just never wanted to read for fun when I was forced to read so much for requirement, haha. Maybe set a side a you day and pick up a good book every so often on that day. Do other enjoyable things too so you don’t get burnt out!

I hate it when I’m so busy that I don’t have the time to write and read. I get very cranky.
I want to read “Murder on the Oriental Express” as well.
